I don't like spoilers, so I won't mention what I was expecting, but I will say that the main characters were well developed and each got an ample amount of time to do so. The one who seemed to be the least developed was the twin-tails there on the cover, but that was still the least of the most. The slice-of-life story was also good mainly due to a sense of progression. Overall, I found it to be ...

"Listen to Me, Girls, I'm Your Father!" is a timely anime. Its theme of "downsizing" brought on by hardship resonates in a world currently experiencing an economic downturn. That the four protagonists support one another so well, reminds us that when it seems that everything has been taken away from us, we still have everything we need in the relationships we share. I rarely get the warm fuzzies ...

That the four protagonists support one another so well, reminds us that when it seems that everything has been taken away from us, we still have everything we need in the relationships we share. I rarely get the warm fuzzies from an anime, but I do from this one. I look forward to the release of each episode.

In regards to accusations of incest and ecchi, I will say that such is unfounded. First of all, Yuta is only biologically related to the youngest girl, Hina, his deceased sister's only child. Even so, this does not mean that he has done anything untoward Sora and Miu, his nieces through marriage. Yes, Sora has a crush on him, and the ecchi of the first two episodes was meant to demonstrate her embarrassment. For example, her crush caught her in a compromising situation (i.e., putting on clothing). However, there has been nothing inappropriate. After the initial episodes I've referenced, all ecchi has practically disappeared as the focus has become how each of the characters are adjusting to their new life and providing support to the other members of the new family. (Trust me, I'm not an apologist for ecchi in this particular case, either.)

In conclusion, if you are looking for a good anime that reflects real life, is centered around relationships, and is uplifting, despite its bittersweet moments, then "Listen to Me, Girls, I'm Your Father" is an anime for you.

I have to admit I was very skeptical at first about this show after the first episode, it seemed as if it were going to go in the overly eechi/ uncle niece love story direction. However after viewing the first three episodes all together its turning into a promising show in my opinion, there seems to be enough sad and happy moments to keep the show balanced.

I have to admit I was very skeptical at first about this show after the first episode, it seemed as if it were going to go in the overly eechi/ uncle niece love story direction. However after viewing the first three episodes all together its turning into a promising show in my opinion, there seems to be enough sad and happy moments to keep the show balanced. My only problem that remains is the overly shiny character design, it just doesn't fit to well with the depression and tragedy of the second and third episodes. On the other hand the the oldest and youngest girl are very well done attitude and action wise, they are about the most realistically portrayed young characters in an anime I've seen so far.

This is an opinion review.
I was hooked the second I started this anime.
its a cute, happy, slice of life anime with its fair share of real world problems.
I was driven to tears multiple times throughout the course of this anime. due to the main protagonist supporting the three girls and the girls helping him more than he thought.

You won't find any blood, gore, mech, or as much hentia* as some other anime's.......but that's just how I like my anime , cute and sweet.
if your new to the anime scene and are looking for a cute anime......then I can highly recommend "listen to me, girls, I am your father".
All and all I gave this a 8.5 out of 10 little sisters.

So my first impression from the title and the pictures was it was going to be some kid trying to be a father to three young girls and it was going to be a whole ecchi, inappropriate, awkward series. Well that is half true, it definitely is awkward with them, but the reasoning is sincere. Yuuta tries his best to handle the girls after their parents die, and that is a true- if not a little rash- ...

So my first impression from the title and the pictures was it was going to be some kid trying to be a father to three young girls and it was going to be a whole ecchi, inappropriate, awkward series. Well that is half true, it definitely is awkward with them, but the reasoning is sincere. Yuuta tries his best to handle the girls after their parents die, and that is a true- if not a little rash- thing to undertake. Not to spoil anymore of the show, he does his really best to make his life and the girls as best as it can be.

The story was formulaic, but it progressed at a nice pace every episode, each time strengthening the family bond between them all, and with all their new neighbors and friends

The music never really stood out, but during those touching scenes it helped make the scene better

All the characters were likable, except the landlady and the otaku club leader... But then again they are necessary for some comedy and contrast to all the happy characters

The animation seemed very animish if i do say, but that was ok. Although sometimes people to me looked the same, they had alot of detail and expression to their faces

When i started to watch this I was greeted with good Animation, good Foley and Music work and good Voicing. Which was a pleasing start as I am picky about those things, especially Foley work.

the Characters are rather tired and old, nothing new here. We are given a Haruhi clone, a token loli and a character who hardly has any presence in the show, Then there is the main male character who ...

When i started to watch this I was greeted with good Animation, good Foley and Music work and good Voicing. Which was a pleasing start as I am picky about those things, especially Foley work.

the Characters are rather tired and old, nothing new here. We are given a Haruhi clone, a token loli and a character who hardly has any presence in the show, Then there is the main male character who seems to fit the bill of the typical character who seems to over react to everything and feels the need to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders and never gives up even when he should.

The plot however is honestly what ruined the show for me. It starts off fine introducing everything and you are wondering how the story will progress to the main male character taking ownership of the girls. Then, like a psychotic surprise attack from one of the girls on Higurashi it hits. It was sudden and seamed forced as though the writer didn't know how to go about the issue and just wanted to get it over with. no real build up, suspense or anything. The true shame about how it was handled is if they extended the length of the show, or simply removed some of the dull nonsense later on, they could have had a good tear moment. This could have been achieved if they simply gave more character build up before so you could have felt worse for the characters that you knew and liked. (though that assumes the characters are likable in any way) One only has to look back to a classic example, Clannad; The after story, to see a good example of that. With so much build up and plot the viewer grows attached to the main characters, then to watch them die is heart breaking. This however is just..... not.

The rest of the plot revolves around everyone trying to live together in a horribly small flat. Every now and then they would recall back to the loss of their parents or present an issue based around that to try and mix up the viewers emotions but it falls short since the death of the parents was so sudden and early you never really end up caring all to much and it all seems so forced. Drama mixed in heavily between comedy but not done in a way that is appreciated. It never really falls into a genre it wants so it just moves about with out direction. If it wants to be a drama then be mostly drama with small bits of comedy here and there to keep the viewer from killing themselves from depression. or the other way around for a comedy. With this though it may go an episode or more with no real drama just to try and force some in later, Its not enjoyable.

In short, It seems like the show has no direction. The characters are tired, outdated and very overused. The plot forces itself on you and some parts are down right annoying between the characters. However, The animation quality is great, Foley work is good, Sound quality is also spot on. Most of the voicing is great aside from the highly annoying Token Loli and its not drawn on and wraps itself up decently.

Ok, here goes, I have only seen the first four episodes. Yuuta Segawa who is a college student ends up being the father figure to these three girls, which he is only related to one. Even so when the family was going to split them up Yuuta didn't care and took them in. So obviously something happened:

Yuuta's sister and her husband died in a plane crash.

Yuuta takes these girls in his little one bedroom apartment and will be their "father" from now on. It doesn't help that the oldest of the girls likes Yuuta, but in my opinion Yuuta is a good guy and wouldn't do anything that some of you would find distasteful.

You get everything you want out of anime like this, you get your Slice of life and feelgood out of it, but they also throw in some ecchi pros to which in my opinion gives it that flavor, makes it tasteful.

Listen to Me, Girls, I'm Your Father! is a great anime for everyone. It can make you laugh, cry, and astonish while watching it. It is a very heartwarming anime that I recommend to everybody.

This is a series that every anime-lover should watch at least once. The main story is emotionally driven and I found certain parts to be quite moving.

This is a series that every anime-lover should watch at least once. The main story is emotionally driven and I found certain parts to be quite moving.

Even if you don't care for the plot, though, the characters make the series worth watching. They really did a great job developing the personalities behind each character, and the Japanese va's did an outstanding job bringing those personalities and characters to life! Be sure to watch this with the original audio and subtitles instead of dubbed, as I doubt the English speaking va's will be able to adequately portray the characters' personalities and emotions.
